This true Chz. Those old moms are packed full of roots. One of the reasons I flower clones is that I don't necessarily have to top the seedling hopefuls and may see sex earlier. Also when I have a good idea of their merit I clone the crap out of the mom during the time the first clones are flowering. That way I can be ready to keep the best ones and have plenty of them to grow.
But you are right. I like having the moms around to flower. I don't really keep moms so they get flowered or culled. After the first heavy cloning from the mom I start training her for flower.
